Why Choose Performance Edge?

Because We Understand Change & Transformation…

The days of predictability are gone. We live in an age of disruption. Rapid change and uncertainty are increasing realities, and they have a significant impact on day-to-day business and our ability to engage with others in a meaningful way. And, these rapidly changing environments increasingly require us to reinvent ourselves.

We believe the answer to this worldwide crisis is to set the right conditions for authentic engagement and high performance and clear the way for achieving optimal and/or unprecedented results. Developing an engaged and high performing workforce begins with a commitment to transformation—both in how we lead and how we show up as individuals. Our frameworks and methodologies lead the way in helping this become a reality in your organization.

Our Mission

Who We Are

We are dedicated to creating transformation in the lives of individuals, communities and organizations so they can thrive.
We are thought leaders in the space of creating REAL change.

What is Transformation?

Transformation is an opportunity to uncover and redesign the underlying assumptions out of which you live your life such that you experience a profound shift in your ability to relate to yourself and others, empowering you to fully engage your heartfelt commitments with freedom and passion.

How We Do It – Our Approach

There are four fundamental shifts that need to happen for Transformation to occur; 1) a shift in our awareness, 2) a shift in our context, 3) a shift in what’s possible, and 4) a shift to new action.

Transformation begins with awareness. In order to develop awareness, we guide people through a process of discovery and transformative learning. Being aware of self and others involves both emotional intelligence and social intelligence (mind-sight & mindfulness). This insight is critical when endeavoring to shift unproductive behaviors, biases & attitudes.

Transformation always includes shifting the context (underlying assumptions) from which you operate. This includes conscious and unconscious influences that have shaped you, including culture, society, ethnicity, gender, family, personality, religious influences, your history—both good and bad. Creating a new context from which to operate is a cornerstone in the foundation of transformation. You shift the way you are being by creating a new context from which to engage reality.

Shifting underlying assumptions (the context we come from) ultimately leads to a shift in what is possible for ourselves and others. It provides you with a new map of reality. Transformation always involves creating & engaging new possibilities.

The last shift that needs to happen in transformation is a shift to new action. When one shifts from hurried or auto-pilot reactions to focused & intentional actions they will create an entirely new set of results.

How We Help You Succeed

High performing companies must become adaptive and prepared to create a culture that is ready for transformation and change. Chaos, complexity and turbulence in the market place forces organizations to reorganize their structure, processes, and talent in order to drive new innovation and strategies.

When organizations are attempting to become more leaner, more flexible, and more adaptive, employees at all levels must understand why and be able to respond quickly to implement these new strategies for growth and innovation. However, we have found that leaders are often not fully educated on how to prepare their organizations for the human side of change and destabilization that occurs during times of austerity, re-structuring and process changes

This is where Performance Edge helps leaders succeed. We use the following methods to help accelerate change, transformation and results.

Clear Strategy

We begin the work with the leadership team and then move into the operational level in a very strategic way.

High Impact Interventions

We design interventions based on what we learn from our sessions at the leadership level and begin our work in a high impact area of the organization.

Education, Training & Coaching

There is a balanced mix of workshops, team sessions and individual coaching involved in every intervention.

Expert Consultants

Every consultant chosen for your project is chosen based on their expertise with our technology and being the right fit for your organization.

Implementation
